The Government of Aragon, through the Aragonese Water Institute, has submitted these two projects for flood risk reduction, which together have a budget of 4.6 million euros.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The Ebro Resilience Strategy<\/strong> is moving forward with actions by all its partners to achieve a middle stretch of the Ebro River, from Logro\u00f1o<\/strong> (La Rioja) to Logro\u00f1o (La Rioja). <\/strong>a La Zaida<\/strong> (Zaragoza) more resilient, adapted to the risk of flooding, where the effects and economic, social and personal costs suffered during and after flood episodes are reduced.<\/p>\n\n

The Government of Aragon<\/strong>, <\/a>through the Aragonese Water Institute<\/a><\/strong>submits to public information<\/strong> the river restoration and habitat enhancement projects in two sections of the Strategy, the 7 in Alcala de Ebro, Remolinos and Luceni<\/strong> and the 9 in Torres de Berrell\u00e9n and Sobradiel<\/strong>The area is made up of all its municipalities in the province of Zaragoza.<\/p>\n\n

The announcements of this administrative step have been published in the Official State Gaz<\/strong> ette (section 9 on April 3<\/a><\/strong> y tranche 7 on April 4<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n

The technical proposal to reduce the risks of flooding in these sections has been declared of regional interest by the Aragonese government<\/strong> and the actions are financed by the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism<\/strong> (NextGeneration EU<\/em><\/strong>) within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Prior to the drafting of the project, the Government of Aragon<\/strong> has held public meetings <\/strong>to share information with the riverside population. In addition, this April, the Aragonese Executive is going to carry out a series of new public conferences<\/strong> to explain the actions of these projects in Torres de Berrell\u00e9n and Sobradiel<\/strong>, on April 15<\/strong> at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm, respectively, and in Remolinos<\/strong> and Alcal\u00e1 de Ebro<\/strong> on April 16<\/strong> at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm, respectively.<\/p>\n\n

Within the scope of the Ebro Resilience Strategy<\/strong>,<\/a> a total of 260 kilometers of the Ebro River<\/strong> are being studied, divided into sections. The main priority of these studies is to evaluate the current protection of urban centers for floods with a return period equal to or less than 25 years. In addition to this main objective, potential damage in non-urban areas will be studied for floods with a 10-year return period, as well as other additional objectives specific to each section (essential services, communication routes, environmental values, protected species, etc.).<\/p>\n\n

The Strategy involves the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge<\/a><\/strong>the \n Hydrographic Confederation of the Ebro<\/a>\n<\/strong> and the \n Autonomous Communities of Aragon<\/a>\n<\/strong>, La Rioja<\/a> <\/strong>y \n Navarra<\/a>\n<\/strong>working together in the implementation of the selected measures.<\/p>\n\n

Performance section 7<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

The project designed for the Alcal\u00e1 Ebro-Remolinos-Luceni Alcal\u00e1 de Ebro-Remolinos-Luceni stretch<\/a><\/strong> has an execution budget of 1,845,467 euros<\/strong>. The objective is to increase the level of protection of urban areas, preventing flooding for floods with a return period of 25 years and reducing the current impact on agricultural land.<\/p>\n\n

To achieve this effect, the actions are focused on a stretch of about 11 kilometers<\/strong>, in the course of the Ebro between El Camponuevo <\/strong>and Los Morerales<\/strong>, in the municipalities of Luceni<\/strong>, Tauste<\/strong>, Pedrola<\/strong>, Remolinos<\/strong> and Alcal\u00e1 de Ebro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"General
General scheme of the actions planned for section 7.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n

The intervention is summarized in the elimination of three defenses<\/strong> The existing two banks, two on the left and one on the right, narrow the channel and increase the water level during floods, diverting it towards urban areas. improvement of existing security perimeters <\/strong>of Alcal\u00e1 de Ebro and Remolinos, through the elevation and reinforcement of roads and irrigation ditches around the perimeter of the urban areas. In addition, measures<\/strong> will be taken to improve the riparian vegetation in order to favor a restoration compatible with the fluvial dynamics.<\/p>\n\n

Prior to this intervention, and since the extraordinary floods suffered in the middle stretch of the Ebro, several interventions have been carried out in these municipalities. In Alcal\u00e1 de Ebro, the Confederaci\u00f3n Hidrogr\u00e1fica del Ebro<\/strong> built a relief channel<\/strong> on the left bank of the river to divert flood waters and prevent them from passing through the urban area, and has reinforced the defensive dike <\/strong> of the urban area on several occasions. In Remolinos, a security perimeter <\/strong>was created on the northwest side of the urban <\/strong>area and two free temporary flooding areas<\/a><\/strong> were created<\/strong> in the orchard to reduce flood damage to the farms included in the perimeter. The actions included in the two projects submitted for public information complement and improve past interventions, so that the combined benefit of each of these actions is greater than that of each of them separately.<\/p>\n\n

Performance section 9<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The action designed for the Torres de Berrell\u00e9n-Sobradiel Torres de Berrell\u00e9n-Sobradiel section<\/a><\/strong> has an execution budget of 2,846,273 euros.<\/strong> The objective is to increase the level of protection of the urban areas of Torres de Berrell\u00e9n and Sobradiel for floods with a return period of 25 years. In addition, the improvement in water flow that would be achieved would prevent flooding in 10-year return period floods of agricultural plots that are currently affected.<\/p>\n\n

It will be carried out on 7.5 kilometers<\/strong> of riverbed and consists of the elimination of two sections of defenses<\/strong> located on the right bank of the Ebro and the burying of the irrigation channel in the Tambor ditch<\/strong> for an approximate length of 400 meters. These structures reduce the effective drainage section of the river, over-elevating flood water levels.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Summary
Summary of the designed action for section 9.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n

It also includes the implementation of safety perimeters in the urban areas<\/strong> of Torres de Berrell\u00e9n and Sobradiel, through the construction of a perimeter dike on each of them, which will prevent water from reaching the urban area. In addition, measures<\/strong> will be taken to improve the riparian vegetation in order to favor a restoration compatible with the river dynamics.<\/p>\n\n

Both in the town of Sobradiel and in Torres de Berrell\u00e9n, interventions have been carried out by the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation<\/strong> to improve the protection of urban centers after the floods of 2015 and 2018. As in the previous case, the actions included in the two projects submitted for public information complement and improve past interventions, so that the combined benefit of each of these actions is greater than that of each of them separately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
